Mikel Arteta’s new contract reflects where the power now lies at Arsenal | Mikel Arteta | The Guardian?

Couple of interesting points I wasn't aware of:
- MA blocked Emirates expansion to 70,000 due to disruption that would be caused by temporary relocation (plus it seems Josh K wasn't convinced about the financials);
- MA vetoed going after Fofana to protect Max's opportunities.

It's an odd quirk in football that nobody thinks of facilities or infrastructure when the team is ****.

In a way, it's a positive sign we're on the up, that everyone wants to contribute something even the non-playing executives. "We can't buy any more players, anyway that's the manager's job. I know, let's build a new training ground or revamp the stadium!"

Well done to Mikel, telling them all to get stuffed.
